تحقيق نسبة "كتاب التاج" إلى الجاحظ : مقاربة مورفولوجية

Abstract EN

Investigators of heritage books made great efforts in auditing the texts of such books and the correct attribution of them to their authors.

Nevertheless; there remain many doubts about the true attribution of those books to their authors that still create the need of another mechanism in addition to the mechanisms used by the traditional investigators, which is made available to them by the historical approach of invistigation.

This external traditional invistigation method, roughly speaking, does not seem enough for some books, which their historical evidence does not help in their attribution to their authors.

These books need some other mechanism, which is to study the text from the inside by detecting its methodology and characteristics, and then by comparing the methods in such books to the approaches of their attributed authors and their characteristics.

This could happen after extrapolating their methodolgy from their other authentic books.

This study is an attempt to investgate this issue with one of these heritage books, At-taj fi Akhlaq Al Mulook, which is attributed to Al-Jahiz, and which scholars are still in depate about its author.

Therfore, the expected result of this study is attempt to show whether it is possible to validate the attribution of At-taj to Al- Jahiz or to negate that by reffering to what we understand and conclude from Al-Jahiz's methodology and the characteristics of his style of writing, his references, and his intellectual perspictives...etc.
